All the things I hate to love, love to hate, and everything in between.

Kentucky Derby

Growing up my family went to the races all the time. And watching the Kentucky Derby was always a big event. We were those people who go to the local race track just to watch the Derby on TV. Someday I will make my way to Churchill Downs, but until then I will have to enjoy from afar. To get ready for the festivities on May 4th here are some derby essentials:

Early Times Mint Julep is the official mint julep of the Kentucky Derby. I'm not usually a huge fan of mint julep's but I think I'll give them another go. The recipe for the Early Times Julep can be found here.

My Old Kentucky Home

One big tradition of the Derby is the singing of "My Old Kentucky Home", so go here to learn the lyrics.
